Equipment tracking and maintenance schedule automation

Purpose

1. Ensure all air conditioning equipment is geo-tagged, tracked, and monitored for timely maintenance across installation projects.

2. Standardize and digitize checklists and logs for maintenance cycles, inspections, and repairs.

3. Proactively manage technician assignments, parts inventory, and service intervals to prevent equipment failure and minimize downtime.

4. Aggregate asset histories for compliance, warranty claims, and cost analysis in one unified workflow.

Trigger Conditions

1. New equipment is entered into inventory or assigned to a job.

2. Scheduled maintenance interval (e.g., 90 days, 6 months) is reached for any installed unit.

3. Technician scan/log via NFC, QR, or barcode occurs in the field.

4. Fault or error code is reported from onboard IoT sensor or customer ticket.

5. Work order/project status changes to "completed" or "pending inspection".
